I think David Pollack is the second best player in UGA history! That’s saying a lot, because we’ve had some good ones. However, watching David intently as I did during his career, I was blown away by his abilities and the fact he was held 90% of the time by opposing offensive linemen. Without the OL mauling he was forced to endure he would averaged 4 sacks a game. We’ll be hard pressed to ever see another DL at UGA with his tenacity, nose for the ball, constant motor and results.

I cannot argue with DP’s rating but there are some great ones on that list. I feel Clowney, Alex Brown, Haynesworth, and Peppers are all underrated. Cody is the most overrated on that list, and it isn’t even close. Notice they missed Fairley The Fairy, guess they counted only those who played by the rules….he would lead a list for cheapshot artists.

I was surprised that UGA didn’t have a TE in their Top 30, the list is statistics driven so our not using the TE as a receiver must have dropped our guys. The QB list seems to reward running QBs, which is fair I suppose for evaluating college performance, but AJ at #7? Joe Hamilton actually made the list, and even pushed both Murray and Greene in the rankings, so they obviously look at talent differently that me. I cannot think of a single GT QB that would come close to being ranked in the 15 year considered.
